Powercoders - Coding Academy for Refugees
Impacting lives by teaching to code
An unprecedented 65.3 million people around the world have been forced from home.
Powercoders is a coding academy for refugees. We believe that, in the 21st century, coding skills will help you to start a new life wherever you are forced to go.
We offer a 3-month coding academy program, followed by an internship of three months to one year. The ultimate goal of the Powercoders is the permanent placement of trained refugees in IT-companies and IT-departments in Switzerland. Participation is free of charge (with additional support for laptop, food and transportation where needed) and includes a mentoring program.
Our next batch will be in Lausanne starting on April 23
